    Sorry, I was not clear. Yes, the new chipsets are not supported. I
    meant eventually they will stop even manufacturing the older chipsets
    that are supported and the video card manufacturers will stop making
    boards based on the old chipsets. The only way to get them will be as
    used parts, if they are still around and still function.
